1 European Commission International Cooperation in Higher Education Tempus Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window 1

2 International cooperation in Higher Education EU Higher Education modernisation agenda At European level, education is not the subject of a «common European policy» : competence for the content and the organisation of studies remains at national level The European Commission has a complementary role to play: to add a European dimension to education, help to develop quality education and encourage life-long learning The Commission works with Member States and the higher education sector to help implement national reforms, through the Open Method of Coordination (clusters, peer learning, own initiatives and programmes, support to others) 2

3 International cooperation in Higher Education EU Higher Education modernisation agenda The higher education policy of the European Commission aims at: reforming higher education systems, making them more coherent, more flexible, and more responsive to the needs of society. European universities must face the challenges of globalisation, and reforms that are needed to release their full potential to help create more growth and jobs and make Europe's knowledge-based society a reality (Lisbon Strategy). 3

4 International cooperation in Higher Education EU Higher Education modernisation agenda Together with the Member States, the European Commission is pursuing three main areas for reform in higher education: Curricular reform: The three cycle system, competence based learning, flexible learning paths, recognition, mobility Funding reform: Diversified university income, tuition fees, grants and loans Governance reform: University autonomy, strategic partnerships, quality assurance 4

5 International cooperation in Higher Education EU HE Modernisation Agenda and the Bologna Process Bologna objectives: To make European Higher Education more compatible and comparable, more competitive and more attractive for European citizens and for citizens and scholars from other continents. A major effort should be made to achieve the core Bologna reforms by 2010: comparable qualifications (short cycles; bachelor, master, doctorate) Recognition and credit transfer flexible, modernised curricula at all levels, and trustworthy quality assurance systems 5

6 International cooperation in Higher Education EU Higher Education Modernisation Agenda and External Cooperation The EU seeks to promote its internal policies through three external programmes for higher education cooperation: TEMPUS: contributes to establishing an area of cooperation and modernisation in higher education between the European Union and the partner countries in the surrounding area, including Central Asia ERASMUS MUNDUS: strengthens European co-operation and international links in higher education by supporting high-quality European Masters Courses, ERASMUS MUNDUS/ External Cooperation Window: funds student and academic staff exchanges 6
